December Sale, Day Twenty-Eight: Prints of Early Figurative Pastel Drawing, "Glasnost?"

Today's image is a print made from a very early pastel drawing called "Glasnost?"  I imagined this image or saw it in my sleep or in that in-between waking state one night, and got up the next day and starting drawing it.  I found "models" for the two men in magazines.  

This was during the period of Glasnost, or increased openness in the government, called for by USSR President Mikhail Gorbachev in the late 1980's.  Having grown up during part of the cold war and also being of Lithuanian descent, at the time, I was somewhat skeptical of the transparency reportedly desired by Gorbachev.

I have 5 prints left of this image; one of them is framed. The unframed versions come with free shipping.

December Sale, Day Twenty-Seven: Aerial Landscape Prints

For those of you flying to visit family and friends this week, this may be a familiar sight: an aerial view of a body of water seen from the window of an airplane.  Possibly my most impressionistic painting, I painted the original in art school from a sketch on an airplane napkin.  I thought the scene was so beautiful, with wispy clouds above, and the reflection of the sunset splayed across the water.

I have about 6 prints left of this image; one of them is framed.  The unframed versions come with free shipping.

See them on the sale page of my shop site; all at 20% off through December 31st: http://marilynfenn.com/shop/artwork-on-sale/

December Sale, Day Twenty-Six: More Prints of Prismism Paintings

After a two day break for Christmas, I'm back with 3 prints of paintings from my Prismism days (L-R): Marilyn's Deer #2, Etruscan Horse, and Marilyn's Deer.  I don't paint this way anymore, but I thoroughly enjoyed this process for a few years.  And I still have a few framed and unframed prints available of these images.  The unframed versions come with free shipping.  All three images are available framed in metal frames, and the two deer paintings also have a wood-framed version available.

December Sale, Day Twenty-Three: Boxes of Art Cards

When I used to do booth-type art shows, I printed up some greeting cards of some of my paintings and offered them as boxed sets with eight cards per set.  I have 4 sets left from those days long ago.  The cards are beautiful -- printed with giclée inks on thick 100% rag, acid-free Museo fine art paper, with blank insides and matching envelopes.  They come in a gift box wrapped with a gold ribbon, and are 20% off through Dec. 31, 2012.  I have 2 sets of Landscape #1, 1 set of Abstract #2, and 1 set of Landscape #2 still available.

It's Not the End of the World

Are we all still here?  Well, I know I am.  If you're reading this, then the world didn't end for you, either.  Yay!  :)   To celebrate the continuation of life on our little planet, I offer this print of one of my earliest pastel drawings.

One night many years ago I was having a discussion with a friend about Indian dream sharing, and one of the supposed lessons from this Indian tribe was to ask for a gift in your dreams.  That night, I had a dream in which I found myself in the clouds among so many other heads.  In the dream, I told myself "remember to ask for a gift" and suddenly -- "whoosh" -- I was flying through the clouds, past the heads, being pulled at great speed toward the sun!  It was quite exhilarating!

At the time, I was just learning to draw, and computer animation didn't existyet (as... more »

End of the World Sale

a.k.a. December Sale, Day Twenty: Prints of the Harmonic Convergence at Enchanted Rock

On August 16th and 17th, 1987, I attended the Harmonic Convergence happening at Enchanted Rock near Fredericksburg, Texas.  The Harmonic Convergence was to be the “world's first globally synchronized meditation"¹ to promote world peace.  The date was chosen due to an unusual alignment of  the Sun, Moon and six of our solar system's planets.

The hope was to gather 144,000 people in various power centers across the world  “where the spiritual energy was held to be particularly strong,"² and we would all meditate simultaneously.  Enchanted Rock is a very special place in central Texas, and as it was considered to be the nearest power center, I traveled there with a number of other peace-lovers to greet the sunrise and meditate.

December Sale, Day Nineteen: Set of Four Poppy Prints

Today I am offering a set of four prints of some of my favorite encaustic paintings.  These have been fairly popular; the originals have sold, and could have sold more than once, and I've sold multiple copies of the prints.  I discovered that, in an edition limited to 25, I still have the #1 print of each of these paintings, and for the next week and a half, these prints are available at 20% off the regular price.

These are large unmatted prints (a 12" x 12" image on a 14" x 13" paper), and the last ones currently available in the whole set of four (I also have 3 of the 4 available mounted on 2" deep boxes).  Shipping is FREE on the unframed, unmounted prints, through Dec. 31, 2012.

Today's sale items are prints of another Italian landscape painting, "Hillside View at Giogalto.”  This painting was done in the studio based on one of the four paintings done on location in a beautiful hilltop villa in Tuscany.  The original painting for this print was 48" x 36" in oil on canvas.

I have 7 prints currently available: one is framed, and the others are large and small matted and unmatted prints.  Each print is 20% off, and shipping is FREE on all the unframed prints, thus saving you an additional $15.00.  Through Dec. 31, 2012.

December Sale, Day Seventeen: Italian Landscape Prints

The sale items for Monday the 17th are prints of the painting "Rain Coming, Giogalto," one of four paintings done on location in a beautiful hilltop villa in Tuscany.  This one was from the porch where we ate our lunch, and was painted over several days.  During the final painting session, rain was starting to roll into the valley, and I tried to I capture the sense of that in this painting.

I only have 6 prints currently available: one is framed, and the others are large and small matted and unmatted prints.  Each print is 20% off, and shipping is FREE on all the unframed prints, thus saving you an additional $15.00.  Through Dec. 31, 2012.

I'm so saddened by the deaths of the little children and teachers in Connecticut, that I just don't feel like marketing artwork is the right thing to do today.

So a little moratorium and silence for those who lost their loved ones.  So sad.

December Sale, Day Thirteen: Musician Paintings as Prints

I probably should have posted these yesterday...1-2, 1-2, 1-2.   ;-)   My musician paintings, or rather prints made from my musician paintings:

· One Flight Down
· Chris & Brad at Donn’s
· Surprise, Surprise

These are the last three paintings done in this style -- a style a friend of mine called "prismism."  Actually, it turns out that Lyonel Feininger "developed “Prism-ism,” a distinctive style with broken geometric planes that was linked formally to Orphism (developed by Robert Delaunay) and Italian Futurism, yet retained a characteristic lyricism."  (from The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts page on Feininger).

Well, I'm not sure that mine are so lyrical, but they represent the culmination of working in this style for me — at least, intentionally.

December Sale, Day Twelve: Three 12 x 12 Encaustic Paintings for 12-12-12

Yes, I'm going to shamelessly exploit the whole 12-12-12 thing by offering three 12" x 12" encaustic paintings on panel for the ridiculously low price of 12² or $144 each.  That's almost 62% off!  

But of course, there's a catch!   This offer on these 3 paintings is good only through December 21st, 2012!   So if the world ends that day -- well, you won't need them anyway, and I won't need the money.  But if doesn't, you can enjoy one or all three of these paintings for years to come.

The paintings are (L-R):

All the Way from Africa
Nebulous Nebula
Field of Artists' Dreams

Did I mention this is sort of a tryptych?

December Sale, Day Eleven: Mini Paintings with Orange Spheres

I totally love these little paintings.  Can you see the common element (or did the title give it away)?   ;-)

These are from early 2009, and I did a whole little wall of these 6" x 6" paintings.  Some are oil on canvas, some are acrylic on paper mounted a little wood cradled panel.  They all look really great together.

Anyway, these three are 20% off for the rest of the year, plus $15.00 shipping for one, and $2.00 more for each additional painting of this size shipped simultaneously.  The paintings are (L-R):

SPROING!!!
Orange Crush

December Sale, Day Ten: Fractal Masks

Today I'm offering another very early surrealistic collage piece of mine, "Fractal Masks".  The original was a 36" x 24" collage with oil pastel.  The image is full of masked faces, large and small, and as you can see from these small images, the whole image reads as a mask or face as well (hence, the title).  It is now available as a giclée print in two sizes:

Large matted and framed or unmatted print
Small matted or unmatted print
There are only 4 total prints available, each is 20% off the regular price through the end of this month.  The unframed prints ship for FREE.

December Sale, Day Seven: Prints of My Favorite Nude Drawing

I love this drawing from the archives of my early work.  I got lucky; I had a beautiful model and the best position for this pose, and I'm so happy the drawing came out so well, if I do say so myself (and I did).  I have only 3 prints available of this drawing on my shop site right now.  I could print more, but that won't happen this year.

Here are the current options:

Large unmatted print @ $48.00 (not -$60.00- as posted earlier; sorry!)

Announcing My Winter Sale - 20% Off Select Items

I have a treasure trove of oldies but goodies as well as some newer artwork that I will be putting on sale starting tomorrow.  Here’s how it’s going to work:  the sale will include select giclée prints, original paintings and works on paper, and I will be announcing at least one new item on sale each day from Dec. 1st through Dec. 31st.

I will be announcing these from my art page on Google Plus (I'll probably also post them occasionally -- if not daily -- on my personal profile).

The giclée prints are available in a variety of sizes, but I only have 1 or 2 prints of each image per size, and won't be able to print anymore this year, so when they're gone, they're gone (for this year anyway).

Here's a recent painting, still available in my shop. This was done for a show this summer to benefit Urban Patchwork, an Austin area non-profit urban garden initiative.  More representational than my usual stuff, at least in part --  I love the abstract parts a lot, too.  :)

In December, I decided to separate my blog and shop from the main art site. I now have one site just for my new art; a second site for my art blog and other related information, and a third site just for the sale of my artwork. Each site links to both of the others at the very bottom of each page, in the little footer links. Here are the links:

The Art Site: http://marilynfenn.com/
The Blog: http://marilynfenn.com/continued/
The Shop: http://marilynfenn.com/shop/

I wrote a blog post, explaining it further, should you want to know: http://marilynfenn.com/continued/new-art-site-design-new-blog-location-and-new-online-shop/

New Site for My Art Shop

I am in the process of splitting my art site into 3 parts:

1. my main art site: streamlined design, the cream of the crop and most recent work, and the most basic artist info;

2. my blog, color exercises, extensive links to other artists, and all the other non-essential, but nice-to-have stuff that I've been collecting and organizing for years (in other words, too much work to simply abandon, and too cool to lose!), plus I'll continue blogging from there; and

3. all my art and art prints for sale.

I'm thrilled and relieved to announce that part 3 of 3--the shop--is complete! Whew! Well, of course, I will continue to add new work to it, and some of the better older work, too--the stuff I've finally decided to let go of, and some giclee prints.

I completely rebuilt the Shop using a different... more »

A Mini Review of Some Art Sales Sites

A comment of mine went long, so I thought I'd expand it even further and post it as a post here. This is just one person's mini-review of a number of art "sales" sites that I've tried, and other options for selling artwork. This review is primarily directed at other artists wanting to sell their work (just so you know). Links included.

How about you: what online sites do you feel are most worth your investment of time and effort, and even money?

ArtsyHome

I recently joined ArtsyHome (early December), where I've posted some of my latest oil paintings--both abstracts and the little toy still lifes. ArtsyHome sells basically the same type of stuff that is sold on Etsy, but supposedly, ArtsyHome does the marketing for you. I can't say that I've seen much marketing beyond... more »

I've been accepted to sell my work through Zatista (yes, they actually do curate).

I've just uploaded a few of my recent paintings there. You can see my art and profile at: https://www.zatista.com/store/artist_profile/items/7379/Marilyn-Fenn-Paintings -- and buy a painting while you're there! ;)

Just noticed I opened my Etsy shop on this day 3 years ago! No one has ever purchased anything from me there, so I'm pretty sure no one ever will. Time to let it fade away.
